The feud began on a livestream when WBC welterweight champ Ryan Garcia bet UFC lightweight Arman Tsarukyan $40,000 that he could knock down Tsarukyan's friend Rafayel Simonyan with body shots. Garcia lost, paid in cash on camera, but Tsarukyan claims he asked for it back to count and never sent the transfer. Garcia refused to pay and challenged Tsarukyan's team to a full fight for $100k, then proposed boxing eight rounds himself for the same amount; Tsarukyan countered with $1 million if Garcia survives one round of MMA sparring, which Garcia declined, sticking to boxing offers. Amid the trash talk, Tsarukyan and friends were removed from an American Airlines flight on April 16 after a phone dispute during takeoff.
